Atlanta airport worker turns in $7,000 in lost cashA part-time employee at Atlanta's Hartsfield-Jackson International Airport tuned in $7,000 of cash that she found lying along a curb near the international terminal.
The worker, Pamela North Hollowaay, tells Atlanta's WSB-TV Channel 2 she never thought about pocketing the lost cash.
"I could've kept the money but I didn't do that. I'm an honest citizen. I'm a taxpayer and I believe in doing the right thing," North Hollowaay says to WSB.
North Hollowaay -- a parking lot cashier at the airport -- tells the station that she showed the money to her supervisor as soon as she found it. Then she contacted the Atlanta police. Officers took the lost property, which – in this case –
was an envelope containing 70 $100 bills, according to a police report obtained by WSB.
Perhaps not surprisingly, police did receive a call from a man asking if anyone turned in the cash.
That man was identified as an Alabama podiatrist who said he was traveling to Costa Rica. He was able to identify "specific writing on the envelope and how the money was wrapped," The Associated Press reports.
WSB says it contacted the podiatrist to see if he had anything to say about North Hollowaay's good deed, but an employee at his office told WSB he was too busy seeing patients to talk.
Regardless, North Hollowaay seems to have no regrets about how she handled the situation.
"Hopefully if that ever happened to me, someone would turn my money back in too," North Hollowaay says to WSB.
